Rocky Point Students Celebrate Holidays Through Art

From Syntax: Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School students in the Rocky Point School District got into the holiday spirit by creating several different artistic creations.

After reading the book “Gingerbread Friends,” by Jan Brett, first-grade students created two-dimensional gingerbread houses. With the help of art teacher Laura Goelz, the students incorporated the lessons they learned on patterns and basic architecture to design their own individual structures. They embellished the drawings with a variety of details before adding a dusting of “snow.”

Additionally, kindergarten classes created candy canes full of sparkle and second-graders designed colorful holiday lights. All of the students’ creations lined the hallways in the building just before the holiday break.
